Yes, 'subsistence.

And not for pets because in that part of the world you
cannot grow crops and survive.

But you don't need to if you are getting grants for you to re-wild and
sensitively 'manage' the environment?

And they do have shops in Scotland now you know? ;-)

how far they have to drive to get to a 'shop'.
Please explain how so-called 'rewilding' pays the bills ?

Last week there was programme on North Uist where a lot of people had won
money on the PostCode Lottery. Asked what sort of holiday they might take,
having won a 5 figure sume, one couple thought they might like to go to
Inverness.
